When I was a kid...part 3

When I was a kid...we ran through the woods…
splashed through the brook... explored the whole forest
from cranny to crook…
...all the way back to the swamp...

Behind our house
was a lake…
with an island..I found my very first arrowhead there…
Winters we skated...on frozen feet
rode our sleds down the hill…
I had a little red rowboat...
that lived
…in the garage until…

In the summer...
it took us adventuring…
to many a distant land...where we were explorers or pirates...
oh yes
...summers were grand...
